Lynn's Software Recommendations

This site work requires a browser newer
than Navigator 4.x.

This page shows software tools I use in daily life.
Lately I have been moving towards more freeware with open source,
in part because so many "shareware" tools get old and remain stale and
buggy.
Plus I have been moving to the use of Portable Applications on a 2GB
USB drive since I routinely move between several Windows PC each day.
This allows me to move my applications and bookmarks with me.

Some of these Pages have NOT YET been uploaded!!.
This is a work in progress.
